On 4-19-08 FWRHA hosted a trail ride at the beautiful Colt Creek State Park. The trail ride was led by Johnny McKeehan and 26 riders participated in the 2 hour ride. The weather was just perfect for the trail ride. After the ride we all gathered for some great food and games. Everyone seemed to have a great time and a lot of fun. A lot of great prizes were donated and given away. It really was a day to remember. FWRHA would like to offer a special thanks to Kip Conklin for all of his hard work at the grill. Johnny would like to welcome everyone to the next trail ride for a stress free day in the saddle. Watch the newsletter for details. No minute in the saddle is wasted!

Well we have made it through the first two shows of the season! I really appreciate those of you who have come out and supported your club and would invite all of you to our next show. I anticipate this will be the largest show of the season next to our Championship show in October.

Our May show will be held on May 10th at Clarcona Horseman's Park in Apopka (Orlando area). Enclosed is the show schedule and entry form. Again, please take the time to pre-enter. It saves time and you money at the show.

I hope those who attended the trail ride on April 19th enjoyed themselves. If you would like more events like this, please let me or any board member know.

In our next newsletter, we will be sending you a draft Championship Show schedule for all to review and comment on. Plans are well underway to make this an exciting event. Remember, October 17th will be the WHOA show and October 18th will be our Championship Show. Two shows, two different judges in one weekend! Watch for more information.

Look forward to seeing everyone on May 10th!

Darren Gray, President
